It was about 3 years back when I first attempt to perform salamba sirsasana II (tripod headstand). And a year after that, I saw my teacher Dina (then doing teacher’s training course) was practicing the transition from tripod headstand to bakasana. That was the ever first ‘transition’ in yoga that I’ve ever known and I try it almost every time during my self-practice. It didn’t come through so I took a break, thinking that I may not be ready for such ‘transition’.
This evening, I once again practiced salaba sirsasana II –to-bakasana transition. I got into inversion and with full awareness of my body, breath and more so on gravity, I balanced and settled myself into bakasana. And into squat, I gave myself a big smile. Again, I agree wholeheartedly - practice and all is coming - Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.
